Absolute psychopaths.

But yes, for the US, you don’t conjure up an auto factory complete with assembly lines, supply chains and skilled management and workforce overnight. Tariffs are going to hurt everyone for a few years and then what? You end up with a subsidised industry, producing cars nobody wants …. you buy these cars because we’ve decided this is what you will have as they are cheaper than tariffed imports …. we had that in Australia for decades with Toyota, GM, Ford all producing cars here under tariff protection. But the cars were not good quality – a second hand Corolla from Japan was worth significantly more than an Aussie built model, and the Ford/GM models were two decades behind European equivalents in engineering.
